The NEW Cortland General Education Program fulfills all SUNY General Education requirements and includes additional elements specific to the Cortland degree. Students will take one course in each of the learning outcome categories (listed on the link below) with the exception of (Category 2) Natural Sciences in which they must take two courses, (Category 9) Foreign Language where the requirement depends on degree program, and (Category 10) Basic Communication in which they must complete both academic writing and presentation skills areas. Double counting, or the use of a single course to satisfy more than one category, is allowed but is subject to the following limitations: (a) no course used by an individual student to satisfy the humanities category may be used to satisfy another subject category, and (b) no single course may in any case be used to satisfy more than two General Education categories.
